Large foldable packaging
product(s)Pallets with sleeves are often used as reusable transport packaging (RTP). Pallets with sleeves are a logistically interesting alternative for users of pallet boxes to make their supply chain flexible. When folded, the pallets take up little space, they have larger internal dimensions and are a lot cheaper than foldable pallet boxes. Even the load capacity is comparable due to the use of Aircell sheet material.
A Reusable transport Packaging consists of 3 parts:
- a strong, nestable, ultra-light and hollow plastic pallet, which is produced by means of "twin-sheet" vacuum forming
- a 4-sided detachable wall of ultra-light and strong Aircell sheet material consisting of 1 piece. Aircell sheet material is also weather resistant and food safe.
- a double-walled lid
How it works:
The walls of the Reusable transport Packaging can be folded into a flat package that, in combination with a lid, can be transported with the pallet for return transport.
Both the pallet and the lid are provided with cams in which the sleeve is locked. As a result, separate locking is not necessary. The sleeve is easy to place from 1 position and can be fold without additional locking. Instead of bending over 5-6 times, the Aircell transport packaging is ready in just 1-2 times.
All benefits:
- Waterproof (rainwater)
- No loose parts for locking the detachable wall
- Interchangeable with most comparable systems
- Practical and time-saving; you only have to bend 1-2 times instead of 5-6 times with other comparable systems
- The detachable wall can be placed from 1 position
- Flat base and maximum internal dimension
Aircell sheet material
Due to the three-layer construction with an internal honeycomb structure, the sheet material has only one third of the weight of a comparable solid panel. Bending is only done with special machines. The high rigidity makes this material ideally suited for the construction of pallet walls. With a thickness of 15 mm, the walls can withstand loads of up to 2 tons. The ultra-light and strong sheet material is also weather-resistant and food-safe.
Aircell sheet material is stiff enough to construct mounting walls with open fronts, so that products can be slid into special custom pockets. These pockets can be made of both textile and Aircell sheet material.

Standard and customization
Engels keeps two sizes in stock as standard. These are supplied with 10mm thick gray folding hinge mounting walls. Each detachable wall has one flap opening (600 x 350 mm) and two label holders.
Engels now has considerable experience in custom projects (references: Toyota, Recylum and the Ministry of Defence). On request we also supply other thicknesses (from 3 to 30 mm), different colors and special surface treatment and/or coating.
